[chef] Re: chef-client didn't upgrade yum package

[Ranjib Dey < >]

the packages will be upgraded only if the action is :upgrade, default is :install, which only installs if the package is absent, use

yum_package "foo" {action :upgrade}

to upgrade them

Hi,

Is it a designed feature that chef-client doesn't automatically upgrade yum
package even the repository has a newer version of the RPMs? Or I miss
something here?

thanks for your info.
